Arrests made in shooting of Pakistani schoolgirl Malala

The main suspect in the shooting of Malala Yousufzai, the teenage activist who spoke out against the Taliban, has been identified, Pakistani police say.

And a group of men who allegedly facilitated the attack against the schoolgirl have been arrested, police said Wednesday.

Atta Ullah, a 23-year-old from the Swat district where Malala was attacked, was identified as the main suspect. Ullah was studying for a masters in chemistry, police say. The Taliban-heavy Swat Valley is in the northwestern part of Pakistan

It's unclear whether Ullah was at the scene and tried to shoot Malala or if he was considered the leader behind the plan to kill her.

Malala, who has become a global symbol of courage after being shot in the head by the Taliban for demanding education for girls, is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Birmingham, England.

4. I hope that actually arrested the right person

I do not trust the Pakistani government, and neither does the Obama administration which is why they did not inform them about Bin Laden until after he was dead. There are to many people in their government who sympathize with the Taliban and I believe they would arrest a random person to try and show people they are protecting them and to avoid the media outrage around the world.
